Print speeds do not include the time needed for the PC to process
the image.
Process time is dependent on the size of the file, the CPU,
amount of RAM and the amount of available resources at the time
of the print.
Print speed indicates an approximate batch print speed and is
measured from the time a card feeds into the Printer to the time it
ejects from the Printer. (Note: The single card print speeds will
be slower than the batch print speeds listed above since batch
print speed is enhanced by the Printer's multi-tasking capabilities
when printing multiple cards in succession.)
Printing Method Dye-Sublimation/Resin Thermal Transfer.
